Simmons is absolutely one of the fastest players I have ever seen! Crazy fast.

That would be the point wnbarocks!

This is just a personal observation I have towards Simmons and how she plays in college. She has to play "within the system" in college, to be part of the team. So she has to use her skills within Coach Warlick's offensive system. I don't have an qualms with that, but I think Pat Summit used Simmons' skills much better than Warlick does, so it seems Simmons is digressing under Warlick.

Her stock has gone down under Warlick. If that continues, she could be a steal in the draft. The question is...if she's on the board when the time comes...does Pokey take her?

I'm with ya T-Woodie I wouldn't mind seeing Simmons picked by the Sky. I like her defense. She's fast and disruptive to the opponents offense. Her defense creates offense. Simmons freshman year was her best year, that was the last season Pat truly ran the team. Her second season was the season of coaching by committee, her third season was Holly Warlick's first year as head coach. This year I think Holly is struggling to define her system and it shows in the way the team is playing this year. I hope Pokey sees her potential. A coach like Pokey can get Simmons on track, use her speed and reign in her shooting to be a quality WNBA player.

I truly hope you get your wish. Simmons with #10? I'll be laughing hard on draft day.

If Simmons needs Summitt to be good (a theory based on coincidence, not a proven fact), that's a definite handicap. Pokey is not Summitt. Simmons doesn't have the body or skills for the next level.

I didn't mean that Simmons needs Summitt to be good. It's my opinion that the coaching inconsistency during her second and third year hindered her development and is the reason her freshman year was her best so far.

I think she has the skills but the discipline is lacking. Could be worth a late 1st round look based on potential but I wouldn't be surprised at all if she doesn't amount to anything in the pros.

Simmons was just GREAT at both ends...20pts and 5 assists. She's really matured over these last 6-7 games. Took great shots and made great assists. They need to get Ariel Massengale back before the SEC Tourney...they are back in the running to win the SEC outright!

This was the best defense I've seen the Lady Vols play all season. They shut Vandy down. Simmons, Harrison and Burdick have been playing well. When they get the ball inside, their posts are unstoppable. Good production off the bench as well.
